I was diagnosed with Chronic Fatigue in 2009 and went thru ESA to try and receive help but i was refused after an ATOS medical and hearing. I tried to continue as well as i could and each day is very hard. A couple of months ago i was diagnosed with fibromyalgia; I work part time and struggle so much, i'm a single Mum trying to keep the family going but it is so hard with pain, tiredness and frustration of having limits to what i can do. Does anyone know if it worth me trying for pip or some sort of help so that i don't have to work or maybe do less hours with help financially. I cant even go on sick pay as I did that in October and now i am getting into debt. Please if anyone has any advice I'd be so glad of it. Thank you.
